On LAO Zi's Let-it-be and Do-it-all Thought and His Aesthetic Spirit
Graphical Abstract
Abstract
LAO Zi's doctrine with Tao as orientation emphasizes the natural let-it-be thought. However, it is aimed at the do-it-all realm. Such thought unconsciously implies the internal rules of aesthetics and the spirit. The let-it-be spirit is in line with the aesthetic features. And its final aim is in accordance to the highest ideal of aesthetic experience. Therefore, from the perspective, such thought is highly overlapped with the aesthetic spirit.
